PRP for Orthopedics
PRP for Orthopedic Injury
At Memphis Laser Clinic, we’re excited to offer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) as an innovative treatment that’s making waves in orthopedics! This cutting-edge therapy uses your own blood plasma, enriched with a concentrated dose of platelets, growth factors, and bioactive proteins, to supercharge your body’s natural healing abilities. After a simple blood draw, we process your plasma in an FDA-cleared kit to create this powerful PRP mixture, which is then activated and injected directly into the site of injury or damage.
PRP is a game-changer for treating a variety of orthopedic conditions:
– Tendon and Ligament Injuries: Whether it’s tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, or rotator cuff tears, PRP injections can boost tissue healing and potentially speed up your recovery.
– Osteoarthritis: Struggling with osteoarthritis? PRP might be the solution! Injected into affected joints like the knee, PRP can help reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and even encourage cartilage regeneration.
– Fractures and Bone Healing: PRP is being explored as a way to enhance bone healing after fractures, promoting the formation of new bone tissue.
– Cartilage Injuries:For those with cartilage injuries, PRP could help regenerate this vital tissue, bringing relief and improved function.
– Surgical Support: PRP can also be used during orthopedic surgeries, like rotator cuff repairs or spinal fusions, to enhance healing and reduce complications.
– Tendonitis and Bursitis: Chronic conditions like tendonitis and bursitis may benefit from PRP’s anti-inflammatory and healing properties, helping to alleviate those persistent symptoms.
While PRP holds incredible potential in orthopedics, we recognize that results can vary based on factors like the type of injury, your overall health, and the specific PRP preparation used. Ongoing research continues to refine the best practices for PRP treatments. Before starting a PRP treatment plan, we encourage you to consult with your orthopedic specialist to determine if it’s the right fit for you and to discuss the potential benefits and risks. At Memphis Laser Clinic, we’re here to support your journey to recovery with the latest in medical advancements!
What is a PRP treatment like?
Here’s what you can expect during the process:
Blood Draw: The treatment begins with a simple blood draw, similar to what you would experience during a routine blood test. A small amount of your blood is collected, usually from your arm.
Centrifugation: The blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge, a specialized machine that spins the blood at high speeds. This process separates the plasma, which is rich in platelets and growth factors, from the rest of the blood components.
Preparation of PRP: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is carefully extracted and prepared for injection. This PRP solution is what contains the powerful growth factors and proteins that aid in healing.
Injection: The PRP is then injected directly into the injured area, such as a tendon, ligament, or joint, using a fine needle. Your healthcare provider may use ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement of the injection.
Post-Treatment: After the injection, you can expect some mild swelling or discomfort at the injection site, but this typically subsides within a few days. The entire procedure usually takes about 30-60 minutes, and because it’s minimally invasive, there’s little to no downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after the treatment.
Healing Process: Over the following weeks, the PRP works to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, promoting tissue repair and regeneration in the treated area. Patients typically begin to notice improvements in pain and function within a few weeks, with optimal results often seen after several months.
